NIDDM Genetic Database Available
DNA samples and phenotypic data are available to all interested
researchers from phase I of the American Diabetes AssociationUs GENNID
study (Genetics of NIDDM). GENNID has collected detailed family
histories and a broad array of data on 170 pedigrees, all of which
contain at least one affected sib pair, with a total of 650 affected
individuals and approximately 1,200 total subjects. Included are
approximately 65 Caucasian, 60 Hispanic, 25 African-American, and 20
Japanese-American pedigrees.
Phenotypic data are available for all pedigree members. The data set
includes multiple metabolic factors, including carbohydrate metabolism,
lipid metabolism, and body size measures, as well as lifestyle variable
obtained by questionnaire, e.g., employment, diet, exercise. DNA is
available for all sib pairs and for all parents where available.
